Fit a global model with all of the data

First, fit a LASSO regression model using the glmnet R package

  • This regression is a Gamma glm with a log link
  • Use cross validation across level 2 ecoregions to tune the lambda parameter in the LASSO model
  • this model is fit to using the scaled weather/climate/soils variables
  • this list of possible predictors includes:
    1. main effects
    2. interactions between all soils variables
    3. interactions between climate and weather variables
    4. transformed main effects (squared, log-transformed (add a uniform integer – 20– to all variables prior to log-transformation), square root-transformed (add a uniform integer – 20– to all variables prior to log-transformation))
## 
## Call:  cv.glmnet(x = X[, 2:ncol(X)], y = y, type.measure = "mse", foldid = my_folds,      keep = TRUE, parallel = TRUE, family = stats::Gamma(link = "log"),      alpha = 1, nlambda = 100, standardize = FALSE) 
## 
## Measure: Mean-Squared Error 
## 
##     Lambda Index Measure    SE Nonzero
## min 0.0777    21   394.8 229.0      35
## 1se 0.4996     1   461.2 254.2       0

Then, fit regular glm models (Gamma glm with a log link), first using the coefficients from the ‘best’ lambda identified in the LASSO model, as then using the coefficients from the ‘1SE’ lambda identified from the LASSO (this is the value of lambda such that the cross validation error is within 1 standard error of the minimum).

## fit w/ the identified coefficients from the 'best' lambda, but using the glm function
  mat_glmnet_best <- as.matrix(bestLambda_coef)
  mat2_glmnet_best <- mat_glmnet_best[mat_glmnet_best[,1] != 0,]
  names(mat2_glmnet_best) <- rownames(mat_glmnet_best)[mat_glmnet_best[,1] != 0]

  if(length(mat2_glmnet_best) == 1) {
    f_glm_bestLambda <- as.formula(paste0(response, "~ 1"))
  } else {
  f_glm_bestLambda <- as.formula(paste0(response, " ~ ", paste0(names( mat2_glmnet_best)[2:length(names( mat2_glmnet_best))], collapse = " + ")))
  }
  

  fit_glm_bestLambda <- glm(data = modDat_1_s
                              , formula = 
  f_glm_bestLambda,
               ,family =  stats::Gamma(link = "log")
    )
  
   ## fit w/ the identified coefficients from the '1se' lambda, but using the glm function
  mat_glmnet_1se <- as.matrix(seLambda_coef)
  mat2_glmnet_1se <- mat_glmnet_1se[mat_glmnet_1se[,1] != 0,]
  names(mat2_glmnet_1se) <- rownames(mat_glmnet_1se)[mat_glmnet_1se[,1] != 0]
  if(length(mat2_glmnet_1se) == 1) {
    f_glm_1se <- as.formula(paste0(response, "~ 1"))
  } else {
  f_glm_1se <- as.formula(paste0(response, " ~ ", paste0(names( mat2_glmnet_1se)[2:length(names( mat2_glmnet_1se))], collapse = " + ")))
  }


  fit_glm_se <- glm(data = modDat_1_s, formula = 
  f_glm_1se,
               ,family =  stats::Gamma(link = "log")
    )

Then, we predict (on the training set) using both of these models (best lambda and 1se lambda)

  ## predict on the test data
  # lasso model predictions with the optimal lambda
  optimal_pred <- predict(fit_glm_bestLambda, newx=X[,2:ncol(X)], type = "response")
  optimal_pred_1se <-  predict(fit_glm_se, newx=X[,2:ncol(X)], type = "response")
    null_fit <- glm(#data = data.frame("y" = y, X[,paste0(prednames, "_s")]), 
      formula = y ~ 1, family = stats::Gamma(link = "log"))
  null_pred <- predict(null_fit, newdata = as.data.frame(X), type = "response"
                       )

  # save data
  fullModOut <- list(
    "modelObject" = fit,
    "nullModelObject" = null_fit,
    "modelPredictions" = data.frame(#ecoRegion_holdout = rep(test_eco,length(y)),
      obs=y,
                    pred_opt=optimal_pred,

                    pred_null=null_pred#,
                    #pred_nopenalty=nopen_pred
                    ))
  
  
# calculate correlations between null and optimal model 
my_cors <- c(cor(optimal_pred, y),
             cor(optimal_pred_1se, y), 
            cor(null_pred, y)
            )

# calculate mse between null and optimal model 
my_mse <- c(mean((fullModOut$modelPredictions$pred_opt -  y)^2) ,
            mean((fullModOut$modelPredictions$pred_opt_se -  y)^2) ,
            mean((fullModOut$modelPredictions$pred_null - y)^2)#,
            #mean((obs_pred$pred_nopenalty - obs_pred$obs)^2)
            )

  labs(title = "A rough comparison of observed and model-predicted values", 
       subtitle = "black = observed values \n red = predictions from 'best lambda' model \n green = predictions from '1se' lambda model \n blue = predictions from null model") +
  xlab(colnames(X)[2])

  #ylim(c(0,200))

The internal cross-validation process to fit the global LASSO model identified an optimal lambda value (regularization parameter) of r{print(best_lambda)}. The lambda value such that the cross validation error is within 1 standard error of the minimum (“1se lambda”) was `r{print(fit$lambda.1se)}`` . The following coefficients were kept in each model:

Quantile plots

Binning predictor variables into “Deciles” (actually percentiles) and looking at the mean predicted probability for each percentile. The use of the word Decentiles is just a legacy thing (they started out being actual Percentiles)

var_prop_pred <- paste0(response, "_pred")
response_vars <- c(response, var_prop_pred)

prednames_fig <- paste(str_split(globModTerms, ":", simplify = TRUE)) 
prednames_fig <- str_replace(prednames_fig, "I\\(", "")
prednames_fig <- str_replace(prednames_fig, "\\^2\\)", "")
prednames_fig <- unique(prednames_fig[prednames_fig>0])
if (length(prednames_fig) == 0) {
  print("The model only contains one predictor (an intercept), so decile plots aren't possible to generate")
} else {
  pred_glm1_deciles <- predvars2deciles(pred_glm1,
                                      response_vars = response_vars,
                                        pred_vars = prednames_fig)
}

Here is a quick version of LOESS curves fit to raw data (to double-check the quantile plot calculations)

Cross-validation

Use terms from global model to re-fit and predict on different held out regions

Figures show residuals for each of the models fit to held-out ecoregions

These models were fit to six ecoregions, and then predict on the indicated heldout ecoregion
